INGREDIENTS
1 cup sugar,
125g butter,
1 egg,
1 cup apples, hot stewed and not too soggy (OR substitute peach or other stewed fruit. I've used feijoas, plums, pears, kiwifruit...peaches...etc...)
1 and 2/3 cups plain flour,
approx. 2-4 tsp mixed spices (recipe says equal parts cinnamon and ginger),
1 heaped tsp bicarbonate of soda,
3/4 cup sultanas (OR other dried fruit. Again I've tried all sorts- crasins, dates, figs, apricots etc. Pick something that will complement the cooked fruit.)
METHOD-
Mix the butter and sugar into the hot apples, then lightly beaten egg. Sift and add dry ingredients, dissolve the bicarb in a little milk or reserved juice. Add more milk or juice if the mixture seems too stiff. (Fruit pulp can be variable in moisture levels.) Bake in a moderate oven for about 3/4 hour, test with skewer to see if the middle's cooked properly. Use a 20cm round or square tin.
